When I drink

I say things I don't want to say

I do things I don't wanna do

I talk mean to you

But if I think

I just might get something out of this

My parents taught me to learn when I miss

Just do your best

Just do your best


It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity

Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be

At least a little better than I've been so far


But when I drink

I hear things that aren't really there

I feel things when I shouldn't really care

Have fist fights with the air

But if I think about someone besides myself

I lived through the silver and the bell

With something to tell

Just do your best


It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity

Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be

At least a little better than I've been so far


But when I drink

I spend the next morning in a haze

But we only get so many days

Now I have one less

Just do your best


It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity

Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be

At least a little better than I've been so far

Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far
